What is Rod Tidwell doing during this pre-season to get for the season you ask? Rod Tidwell got drafted, got some training in, got to moving, and now he is hanging out in his new home getting ready for some football. Rod Tidwell has been working on his strength and speed, Rod Tidwell is real quick these days. Rod Tidwell met his Quarterback and his teammates. We are apparently building the wall here in Tijuana so that's a thing. Mostly tho Rod Tidwell is out here learning about the community. This way when he gets to playing, he gains maximum Kwan. Then he gets drafted and YOU SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Gabagool had a great time winning the prospect bowl with his fellow Owls, but he knew he had to turn his attention the DSFL draft. But before he could even prepare, his stud linebacker teammate Mo Berry @Frick_Nasty promised him and everyone else HuHot Mongolian BBQ. He was so amazed at the generosity of his teammate, and looked forward to the meal almost as much as he looked forward to the draft.

Unfortunately for him, Mo Berry's promise was a lie. Tony waited on bated breath for his friend and training partner to text him with the details of the future dinner, but a text never came. Tony grew restless and sent him multiple texts to no reply. Feeling scorned he turned all of his energy to the draft, working out and trying his best in the interviews, although on an empty stomach his interviews didn't go as well as planned. He watched his old friend Mo go 5 picks before him.

After signing his rookie contract, the first thing he did was buy HuHot Mongolian BBQ for his new Solar Bear teammates, making sure that they would never be hurt like Mo Berry hurt him. After that, he worked out a bunch or something. He was quoted saying "Mo, you should be happy we won't be on the field on the same time, because if we we're..."

Its been an exciting week for the Candyman, all the way from the prospect bowl, to signing the contract with the Kansas Coyotes. After winning triple prospect bowl honors, he overloaded on laffy taffy. He weighed 3 extra pounds upon reporting to the Yotes training camp. He worked all the days catching straight bullets from Leaf and bullying cornerbacks and linebackers all the same. Taffy is determined to prove scouts wrong as he felt he deserved to be RB1. He looks forward to competition with Farley Hank, his running back teammate drafted 5 rounds prior and Forrest Gump, his old prospect bowl rival.

It feels like just yesterday I was drafted into the DSFL. Well it was, but anyway the second I got the call from Norfolk I packed my bags quick. Arriving this morning I was able to meet with Coach and go over the game plan for the season opener. After the initial meetings and checking out the facilities I was free to head out to downtown Norfolk. My first stop was USS Wisconsin. The WWII battleship makes the city proud to call Norfolk home; in South Beach we have E11leven. It’s different. An old man approached me and said congrats on being drafted. He then started to get going on about King Bronko and Mike Boss so I had to tell him it’s a new age of football now. The competition is stronger and teams are filling up. Everybody is fighting for a spot.

I moved on from there to Virginia Beach and sat with my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand, and thought life is good today. Then I got cold cause there is a high of 52 degrees today. I went back to the hotel and did some cardio. I feel like I have gotten faster since declaring for the draft, but I guess everybody will have to wait to find out come Week 1. South Beach was just another chapter. I think its time put my head down to work harder and play less. I am excited to see how much our team can prove by Playoff time.

After a wild draft party, Lucas Knight is ready to start with his preseason workout in order to become the outstanding cornerback Norfolk expects him to be. Knight plans to invest some time into improving his hands technique by asking his QB Jay Longshaw to throw him some passes after practice, as well as discussing some tips with his WR teammates. Additionally, Lucas wants to expend some hours of the night watching some DSFL film to get to know all of his opponents. Also, he's going to hit the gym every morning to build his strength after having a bit of trouble with his tackling during the Prospect Bowl. Finally, but most importantly, he wants to know better all of his teammates and will be glad to have a little chat with most of them during and after practice.

After a disappointing season, both individually and for the team, I decided that this off-season was going to be dedicated to recuperation and studies. I've been working non-stop since the day I was drafted to the SaberCats. I spent every waking moment working on my craft. I perfected my skills, but still didn't produce as much as I should. I had to do something different. This off-season I decided to study the game more. I've been watching a ton of film on various wide receivers and just learning more about route running and how corners defend. I've worked on my on-field skills, I'm confident in those. Now, I'm working to be more intelligent in my movements and I'm hoping that it makes a difference this season and beyond. Here's hoping.

Jay Longhshaw is still a little bit rattled from the draft. Pick number 25. Four full rounds passing by before anyone called his name. To be fair, he declared for the draft without any game time throughout college – but doesn’t football pedigree count for something anymore? The upsetting draft outcome has spurred Jay on to actually take the preseason seriously, and he’s spending some serious time with the Norfolk trainers working on his throwing mechanics and breaking down game tape. If he was lacking any motivation before the draft, he certainly isn’t anymore. This season, Jay intends to make the five other DSFL GMs regret not picking him when they had the chance.

Man, I'll tell ya, I've just been out there hitting the jugs every day, wind-sprints, working on my route mechanics... you know, every day type of stuff. I gotta appreciate the position I was drafted and the greatness that surrounds me. I mean, we got Brock freakin' Landers converting to wide-out, I know I gotta step up for a guy like that. And don't get me started with our defense. You know I don't want to let those guys down on a crucial third down, man, I don't even want to think about their faces if I let them down... so yeah, I've just been out here every day, working hard, and I think I've been getting some pretty good results.

What has Nero Alexander been doing to prepare for his first season in the DSFL? Immediately after moving to San Antonio, he took Charles Barkley’s advice and got a bunch of churros and met some big ol’ women. He’s been meeting with his star defensive teammates, Mo Berry, Quenton Bode, and Walt Green, to discuss strategy. Most importantly, he’s been hitting the gym to improve his speed, strength, and endurance. As an edge player, he needs to be able to take on blockers and disrupt plays in the backfield. Nero wants to make sure that no DSFL quarterback ever gets an 87-yard touchdown run while he’s on the field.

Throughout this off-season, I have put Leighton Lee in the gym with his older brother, Jaylon Lee. The two have been working on improving his speed and strength. With this, he has been improving his technique. After not playing much last season, Leighton knew he needed to take steps forward to be a better player. Going ninth overall in the offseason did not suffice my urge to be great. I believe that I have undoubtedly added the most hours over the course of the offseason, so I am excited to see Leighton on the field. Ultimately, every part of his game as improved, so it will be exciting to see how his sophomore DSFL season turns out.
